I think we've gone crazy with spoiler alerts and warnings.
Here then is a thread merely about spoilers.
These are real spoilers, folks. You've been warned.
In "Hamlet", they all die.
In "Reservoir Dogs", they all die.
In "The Skelaton Key", it turns out that the old lady and Peter Sarsgaard's characters are REALLY being possessed by vodoo practing servants who we originally thought were lynched in a flashback to back in the day but, as we learn later, find out that just before that tragedy they managed to switch bodies with the children of the people they served--meaning children were hanged here. Horrible I know, but it's a real clencher! And they keep switching bodies every generation...AND THEY DO THE SAME TO KATE HUDSON! So the final scene is the old lady and the old man, unable to speak, being carried away to the hospital, while we the audience know that inside those bodies are Kate Hudson and Peter Sargaard!
Oh, it's soooo goood.

In Gladiator, Maximus' family gets slaughtered by Commodus, prompting him to eventually kill Commodus.
In Dead Poet's society, Robin Williams ends up getting fired, and one kid commits suicide.

What a great idea! I actually like spoilers, as I prefer to know what's going to happen in the end. Sometimes I read books backwards chapter by chapter starting at the end.
Gandalf comes back after falling into the pit in Moria.
Hector gets killed by Achilles and Troy gets sacked. Hector's wife Andromache gets pressed into slavery, and their cute baby son gets thrown from the tower.
In every Jane Austen novel, the heroine gets her man in the end. All six of them end in weddings.
In War and Peace, Pierre and Natasha end up together.
The way to tell a Shakespearean comedy from a tragedy: in a tragedy everyone dies in the end, in a comedy they all get married. (That spoilered about 2 dozen plays for you all at once. )
In Crime and Punishment, Rodion finally confesses in the end and gets sentenced to 10 years in a Siberian prison.
In The Brothers Karamazov, the servant son of the elder Karamazov by Reeking Lizaveta is the one who actually did it. Dmitri is convicted but escapes custody and lives in hiding.
Dostoyevsky's obsession with murder and patricide leads me to believe that he actually played a substantial role in the death of his father, though the official record states that he was "killed by his own serfs who poured Vodka down his throat until he drowned".

In Shrek, the princess is really an ogre.
In the real story of the Little Mermaid, not the cute Disney movie, the little mermaid dies in the end.
In Ender's Game, Ender does kill all the buggers (well almost) and saves the world but he hates himself for it. And Peter becomes Hegemon.

Speaking of spoiling, at camp one time they played "Fear Factor- Soto style"(Soto- SHepherd of the Ozarks). One of the things they did was leave a giant tub of milk out in the sun for three weeks and the kids playing fear factor had to go bobbing for apples in it.
Wouldn't have been fun to play, but it was fun to watch. *laughs* oh, the looks on their faces...
Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
That is beyond disgusting. Do they have DCF in the Ozarks. That sounds more dangerous than funny. Ugh!

Actually, it has been discovered in the last 15 years or so that leeches have some medically beneficial uses.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Maggots, too. Leeches are great for getting blood flowing in reattatched fingers and such. Maggots eat away the dead tissue that can lead to limbs needing to be amputated and such.
Posted by Vasslia Cora (Member # 7981) on :
